REM%MIT-MC@sri-unix.UUCP (06/09/83)
From: Robert Elton Maas <REM @ MIT-MC> [Reprinted from the SPACE Digest.] First year, build a bunch of servo units with built-in 2.5 second delay and attach them to a random survey of existing vehicles, both commercial (private automobiles, trucks, dune buggeys, etc.) and experimental (HPM's cart, SRI's shakey frame, Disney stuff, etc.). Audition the 10% unemployed as remote-controllers, keeping the best. Get as much info as possible the first year without having to actually build any new vehicles. Then from the general info about the 2.5 second delay and the human controllers, decide feasibility of lunar-rover project, and if feasible then use specific info about the various vehicles to decide what new vehicles to build in later years for further experiments.
